  Another “Restore Media” issue

  Posted by Jonas Pariente on October 26, 2011 at 5:22 pm

  Hi all,

  I’ve been reading all the “media restore” posts on the forum but I’m afraid my issue is yet a different one.

  I shot footage using the PMW EX1, on a SHDC adapter (the brand is either e-LCR or e-films, not sure) with a 32 Go Transcend card Class 6 in it.

  As I was shooting I had a “Restore media message” and decided to rather change the card and look at that after the shoot.
  When I put the card back, I had the same message but no possibility to actually restore the media.

  The weird thing is:
  – when the card is in the camera in “play” mode, it shows a 54-min single clip, but I can’t read it (when I try, it gives me the error message and prompts me to restore the media, but not the possibility to do so)
  – the BPAV folder shows 5 sub-folders with 5 mp4 clips, one of which is 3.4 Go and readable (13 min long) … the 4 others mp4 are either “empty” (0 ko) or very light (< 50 Mo) and unreadable
  – on my Mac Finder it says that only 3,4 Go of the card is used, and 30 Go or so is available … but then how come the camera player (and CB) shows a 54-min clip ??

  Here is what I tried to rescue/restore the 40 min of footage missing, (with no success what so ever):

  – tried Log and Transfer under FCP, but it crashed FCP
  – tried manually import it under CB, but it gives me an error message “Failed to import the clip”
  – tried “restore media” with my Mac Disk Utility, not working

  Can anyone help ?

  Thanks a lot

  Jonas
